its duties under this Agreement. Metavante and Customer intend and agree that

As part of the Termination Assistance, Metavante shall assist Customer to
develop a plan for the transition of all Services then being performed by
Metavante under this Agreement, from Metavante to Customer or its designee, on a
reasonable schedule developed jointly by Metavante and Customer. Prior to
providing any Termination Assistance, Metavante shall deliver to Customer a good
faith estimate of all such Expenses and charges including charges for custom
programming services. Customer understands and agrees that all Expenses and
charges for Termination Assistance shall be computed in accordance with
Metavante's then- current standard prices for such products, materials and
services. Provided Customer does not request any custom programming or other
special services, based on the way Metavante performs Termination Assistance as
of the date of this Agreement, the charges for Termination Assistance would
consist of per tape charges only. Nothing contained herein shall obligate
Customer to receive Termination Assistance from Metavante.

Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2 above, upon at least ninety (90) days' prior
written request by Customer, Metavante shall continue to provide Customer all

13.2. EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Independent
of, severable from, and to be enforced independently of any other provision of
this Agreement, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY (NOR TO ANY
PERSON CLAIMING RIGHTS DERIVED FROM THE OTHER PARTY'S RIGHTS) IN CONTRACT, TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL,
PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND--including lost profits, loss of
business, or other economic damage, and further including injury to property, AS
A RESULT OF BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OR OTHER TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING
ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PARTY LIABLE OR ALLEGEDLY
LIABLE WAS ADVISED, HAD OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT KNEW OF THE POSSIBILITY
THEREOF.
13.3. MAXIMUM DAMAGES ALLOWED. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, and for any reason, including breach of any duty imposed by this
contract or independent of this contract, and regardless of any claim in
contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, Metavante's total, aggregate
liability under this Agreement shall in no circumstance exceed payments made to

the act or event giving rise to such claim. No such limitation shall apply with
respect to Metavante's willful misconduct or intentional failure to perform.

by either party hereto, or on any claim or controversy based upon or arising in
any way out of this Agreement, after one (1) year from the date on which the

other provision of this Article 13, each party hereby knowingly, voluntarily,
and intentionally waives any right to recover from the other party, and Customer
waives any right to recover from any Eligible Provider, any economic losses or
damages in any action brought under tort theories, including, misrepresentation,
negligence and/or strict liability and/or relating to the quality or performance
of any products or services provided by Metavante. For purposes of this waiver,
economic losses and damages include monetary losses or damages caused by a
defective product or service except personal injury or damage to other tangible
property. Even if remedies provided under this Agreement shall be deemed to have
failed of their essential purpose, neither party shall have any liability to the
other party under tort theories for economic losses or damages.
13.6. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Customer acknowledges that Metavante shall
suffer a material adverse impact on its business if this Agreement is terminated
prior to expiration of the Term, and that the resulting Damages may not be
susceptible of precise determination. Customer acknowledges that the Termination
Fee is a reasonable approximation of such Damages and shall be deemed to be
liquidated Damages and not a penalty.
13.7. ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS. Customer and Metavante acknowledge and agree
that the limitations contained in this Article 13 are essential to this
Agreement, and that Metavante has expressly relied upon the inclusion of each
and every provision of this Article 13 as a condition to executing this
Agreement.
